We walked 27 dusty kilometers today. The first 17 went through no village, so there was no opportunity to breakfast and only one water tap on the stretch. We have arrived in Terradillios, a small village, of some significance. This is the half way point of Camino Frances, ie. between St Jean Pied De Port and Campostela.
Our routine is very similar to last year. We've packed as little as possible, including 2 sets of clothes, a silk sleeping bag and a quick dry bath towel (which you could easily fit into your pocket), rain gear, toiletries and sandals/flip flops. So as not to smell and lose our Camino friends, we change out of our used clothes as soon as we arrive at the refugio and wash them and hang them out in the sun. Meanwhile, we have showered and changed into those we washed yesterday. After that we have a cold drink, walk around the village, read, and write this blog. Around 7ish we have dinner, then a beer, and to bed just after 9pm. Lights go out in all refugios by 10pm and often earlier.
We are a few days away from the big city of Leon and are starting to look forward to it.
Missing the Piercey's from Ottawa and John Rogers from Dublin on our walk this year, even though we are making new friends.
